true :-)


However, why I thought about this is, that
I write sometimes python code, which tries to call other python files.

later on for distribution I use py2exe.

Therefore I use wrapper functions, which will work in either case.

The wrapper could use sys.executable in 'python mode'
and had to call the exe file in 'py2exe mode'
